C'mon.
Players and agents being bullied?
The CBA indeed covers almost everything.

But the idea that what player wants is to be paid in full by two teams simultaneously, because he's been cut (almost always for either getting into trouble for the umpteenth time or simply not playing well enough), is not reasonable. Nice if you can get it. But essentially a player gets rewarded for either fouling up or just not being very good.

And as a person who lived the last several years of my life based on contracts, you get what you negotiate. But it's a two way street. It is perfectly fair if Bosa wants to walk away and try his luck next year. But it is equally fair for the Chargers to draw a line and say take it or leave it at this point or to trade his rights and let someone else have the problem.

That ONE guy can't seem to get a deal done; and it has become common knowledge that he wants what no other player gets on the Chargers, is a non-starter.

  Not Rams....but....what to make of this Joey Bosa issue?

RockRam1347August 25, 2016 02:29AM

  And his mommy weighed in on it too which is a BIG red flag

LesBaker1007August 25, 2016 05:01AM

  both ends are greedy.....

Rampage2K-500August 25, 2016 05:51AM

  He wants the money all in the first year

  It's a matter of just months

LesBaker601August 25, 2016 06:46AM

  I think that's all just an excuse....his mom let it slip...

SunTzu_vs_Camus474August 25, 2016 07:00AM

  I will say, I do NOT see his fit with the Chargers.

RockRam415August 25, 2016 07:08AM

  EXACTLY, RR !!!!! Bosa is a silly fit in that 3-4 defense. imo

SunTzu_vs_Camus421August 25, 2016 07:14AM

  I think he's a lot like JJ Watt

9er8er515August 25, 2016 03:59PM

  Watt 3 X Defensive MVP?

Kind of Blue/Gold400August 25, 2016 06:47PM

  Doubtful he's Watt

  would you trade a 2nd rounder or two for him???

SunTzu_vs_Camus547August 25, 2016 06:32AM

  too late....

Rampage2K-531August 25, 2016 06:39AM

  What makes you think getting traded would change his stance

LesBaker603August 25, 2016 06:44AM

  Bosa needs to sign like every other rookie

  Re: at this point if I were Bosa

merlin432August 25, 2016 10:04AM

  I'd be surprised/shocked if he doesn't sign before the season

Kind of Blue/Gold432August 25, 2016 10:13AM

  There is also this

LesBaker495August 25, 2016 10:16AM

  SD hasn't had a pick higher than #11 since 2011

Kind of Blue/Gold494August 25, 2016 10:22AM

  I think you are misunderstanding that point

LesBaker500August 25, 2016 10:31AM

  Are you saying Bosa is making more than Goff, OVERALL?

Kind of Blue/Gold421August 25, 2016 10:41AM

  I'll try again

  Then this kid is even more delusional than I thought.

RockRam491August 25, 2016 10:32AM

  The organization is even more delusional than I thought.

Kind of Blue/Gold419August 25, 2016 10:47AM

  From the reporting I get NOBODY pays the full SB in one lump sum

RockRam450August 25, 2016 12:29PM

  I've heard NOBODY has been asked to make BOTH concessions

Kind of Blue/Gold413August 25, 2016 08:19PM

  Joey Bosa situation part of a decades-old pattern for SD

Kind of Blue/Gold425August 25, 2016 11:18PM

  Different GM but same owner

Kind of Blue/Gold470August 25, 2016 10:52AM

  Just curious, why do most fans take the club's side on things like this?

promomasterj449August 25, 2016 10:38AM

  In this case the player is pretty much wrong

LesBaker550August 25, 2016 01:29PM

  Thing is, there is not one dime difference.

RockRam436August 25, 2016 02:16PM

  My understanding

9er8er479August 25, 2016 03:48PM

  And thats not how it works and he isn't going to change things

LesBaker413August 25, 2016 04:21PM

  Wait, are you now saying no players negotiate

Kind of Blue/Gold432August 25, 2016 08:42PM

  It is best if you both....

73Ram481August 26, 2016 08:35AM

  So don't draft him if they can't offer a standard contract

  SD may be bickering over essentially $30,000 in interest

Kind of Blue/Gold401August 27, 2016 12:24PM

  So greed is ok for NFL and teams, not for players?

promomasterj429August 25, 2016 02:27PM

  Chargers are cheap

Kind of Blue/Gold434August 26, 2016 08:34AM

  I don't think most fans do

9er8er494August 25, 2016 03:09PM

  I blame the Chargers

GreatRamNTheSky389August 26, 2016 01:39AM

  Agreed - a few articles explaining the respective positions

  I'm tellin ya....I think the Ram make a play for him in the reg season....

SunTzu_vs_Camus454August 27, 2016 08:38AM

  And these are the guys the NFL wants to bunk the Rams with

Old Goat439August 27, 2016 01:24PM
